New World does not have an archetypal class system, but instead opts for a truly flexible system in which be a healer, For example, it will only depend on the weapons you choose. This system has received a lot of praise from the community, and it is that changing roles is relatively easy.
As in any MMORPG, having a healer on team It will be key if we want to advance in dungeons and in PvP. The most optimal configuration seen during the beta should also be the one seen in the early stages of the game, and here are a few tips.
Ice Cleric in New World: Most Meta Healer
Attributes and equipment
Mainly, you are going to want to upload Concentration. It is the main healing attribute in the game, and the higher this characteristic is, the more you will heal with the staff of life. However, you will also want to achieve a minimum of 50 points in Constitution, and it is that in that range the passive of the potions is unlocked, VERY necessary to endure more in combat.
You can also bet on some Intelligence, but ALWAYS keep in mind that your goal is not to do harm, but rather that you want to have a lot of Concentration so that your cures are effective.
Regarding the team, it will depend on your play style, although it is NOT recommended to have heavy armor. If you are not very sure of your ability: medium armor. If you are good at dodging and you know the mechanics of bosses and / or PvP classes: light.
Weapons and abilities
The two weapons that you will need are quite clear:
- Staff of Life: your primary healing tool, with both area and single target heals. You want the skills to be Beacon (some damage and healing in area), Embrace of Light (healing single player) and Splash of Light (healing in area).
- Ice gauntlet: very useful and, above all, CC to get out of critical situations and to annoy the enemy. You want the skills to be Pillar of Ice (slow and damage), Ice Storm (damage in area and slow) and Bury (a block of ice that will protect you and only you).
The playing style It is going to be very simple, and that is that the only healing skill that you should keep is Embrace of the Light (for an emergency), using the other two if there is no danger. If your teammates are okay or the enemy is heading your way, switch to the Ice Gauntlet. When things get ugly or they want to do burst damage, use Bury.
